6 // 2019-20 Illinois Fighting Illini Basketball he had no high-major scholarship offers until Underwood saw him for the first time in February 2018. Bezhanishvili jumped at the opportunity to join the Illini, and be- came an instant fan favorite with students and the community. His enthusiasm and passion ignited the State Farm Center, and his play backed it up. He averaged 12.5 points and led the Illini in rebounding with 5.2 boards per game. Efficient in the post with the ability to use either hand, Bezhanishvili had a number of great offensive performances. There was none bigger, however, than on Feb. 9 when he broke the Illinois single-game scoring record by a freshman, exploding for 35 points on 14-of-18 shooting in a victory over Rutgers. Bezhanishvili is a good passer and solid ball handler, and will have the opportunity to show those abilities this season as he expands his game by playing the four in addition to the five. The lone four-year scholarship senior in the Illini program is Kipper Nichols. He averaged 5.7 points last year and had strong performances in spurts, highlighted by a season-high 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting in the Feb. 2 win over Nebraska. Nichols made 54.4 percent of his two-pointers but struggled from three after shooting it well as an underclassman. Illinois is looking for consistency from Nichols during his final campaign. One of the most dependable players night-in and night-out is junior Da’Monte Williams. He started 18 games last season, including each of the last 17, and averaged 3.4 points and 3.5 rebounds. Always in the right spot offensively and defensively, Williams is a lengthy defender who can disrupt opponents and plays exceptionally hard every time out. A pair of intriguing sophomore wings will have the opportunity to expand their role this season after showing bright spots as rookies. Alan Griffin has worked relent- lessly in the weight room to add strength and gain weight. Already a great 3-point shooter, Griffin improved his game during the offseason and it showed during the team’s Italy trip, where he averaged 16.8 points and was relentless on the offensive glass. Tevian Jones had a breakout performance last year at Madison Square Garden, pouring in 18 points with four treys to lead the Illini to an upset win over Maryland. The versatile Jones can shoot it and soar in transition, and is continuing to make strides at both ends in the halfcourt.

Frontcourt Heavy Freshman Class Illinois inked a top-50 player for the second consecutive recruiting class with the addition of four-star center Kofi Cockburn. The Kingston, Jamaica native has only played organized basketball for four years, but he has the opportunity to make a big impact in the paint. One of the largest players ever to suit up for the Orange and Blue, Cockburn measures 7-feet, 290 pounds with a 7-6 wingspan. He is a tenacious rebounder who can score in the post and alter shots. The former track and soccer athlete has great balance and feet with his frame. Bolstering the four and five spots are two additional freshmen. Benjamin Bosmans-Verdonk is a skilled forward from Belgium. He has impressive size for a newcomer at 6-8, 235-pounds. Bosmans-Verdonk was limited during the summer and fall while recovering from a leg injury. Illinois added Jermaine Hamlin to the roster prior to the start of fall semester classes. A 6-10, 235-pound center from Lincoln, Illinois, he originally planned to go the prep school route before changing course and signing with the Illini. Hamlin has talent and potential and will focus on skill development during his freshman campaign while battling with the bigs.

Illinois has the tallest freshman class in the country, with the average height of 6-10 tied with Utah State:

T1. Illinois 6-10 Big Ten T4. Georgetown 6-8 Big East T1. Utah State 6-10 Mountain West T4. Tennessee 6-8 SEC 3. Army 6-9 Patriot T4. Monmouth 6-8 MAAC

Pair of Transfers Eye the Future Illinois has two transfers who are sitting out this season and will increase the competition in practice. Junior Jacob Grandison is a versatile 6-6 player who can play on the wing or at the four. He led Holy Cross in scoring (13.9 ppg) and 3-pointers while ranking second on the Crusaders in rebounding (5.0 rpg). Junior Austin Hutcherson is a 6-6 guard who was a dynamic scorer at Division III Wesleyan in Connecticut, averaging 20.0 points while shooting nearly 40 percent from 3-point land.
